Dana's Art Thread (version 2.0)
|
I had one of these threads a couple of years ago, but can't seem to find it again. It's been a while since I've done anything worth posting.
Thought I'd start off with my latest piece:
Facing The Darkness

Nice to have you back in Fan Art, Dana! 
You've done a great job on your latest piece. I think the lighting and the colors chosen go along perfectly with the title of the work. I'm gonna take a while guess here and say this is supposed to be either Jacen or Kyp?

Thanks! It's Kyp Durron, not Jacen (hence the green eyes and black hair!).
This piece and its variant (one with Sith eyes, one without) is an illustration of Darth Rache from my story Like The Deserts Miss The Rain.

Did this one in a couple of hours last night; was going to post it then, but my internet went down.

Thanks! I've drawn him before, but they all sucked.
The tat is his Sith tattoo, and it's supposed to represent Carida. It's also inspired by one of the ones attributed to Exar Kun, as he was Exar Kun's student. He just, you know, isn't as visible about it as Kun or his original followers.

Did another piece. This is also from "Like The Deserts Miss The Rain", it's Rache presenting Jaina Solo to Empress Jade at a ball.

This one is my favorite of the ones you've done so far. They look very realistic, and I love the expressions on their faces. And I love Jaina's dress

Thank you! I think it's my favourite, too. I have no idea how she turned out so well!

Agreed! Jaina came out really well! Nice job on the anatomy and you really struck a mood with the expression and angle of her head. Keep up the great work!

Ah, so the Tatoo represents Carida! A very nice addition to Rache's background.

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes.

Thanks! She's supposed to be just about to curtsey, with her head bowed just a little, and she resents it a bit.

Yes, it does; there's a part coming up in the 'fic where Jaina asks about the tattoo.

Nice stuff, you're definitely getting better at anatomy with each picture. Jaina looks so elegant! Keep it up, even if you have to use pencils to do it - even though I usually use a tablet, I have a pocket journal I keep with me for sketching and writing down story ideas and thoughts on the go. I actually like pen sketches, there's something interesting that happens when you know you can't erase. A lot of them come out awful, but the ones that aren't are all the more satisfying.

. . . I can draw the human figure. It's not so much that I'm getting better at anatomy with each one, it's that the first and second pieces were fairly rushed and experimental.

 Yeah, I can see what you mean now. Should've been paying closer attention. It's definitely been getting better, though.
